To date more than 12 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Australia.

As the national vaccine roll-out continues to expand, The Examiner is encouraging readers to show their support for increased COVID-19 vaccination in our community.

Your free Vax-The-Nation poster features a striking illustration by Walkley Award-winning cartoonist David Pope, whose editorial cartoons appear in Australian Community Media mastheads.

In June ACM, the publisher of this masthead, launched its national Vax-The-Nation campaign on the front pages of its 14 daily newspapers in key regional population centres across NSW, Victoria and Tasmania. Readers were urged to roll up their sleeves and get with the program - the vaccination program - by booking in to get the jab.

Thursday's gloss poster, printed with the support of the Australian Government's Department of Health, urges Australians to arm themselves by booking their COVID-19 vaccination today.

The Examiner is asking readers to show their support for a safer, stronger Northern Tasmanian community by displaying your Vax-The-Nation poster in the shopfront window of your business or on the noticeboard in the lunchroom at your workplace or in your front window at home.

To find out if you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination go to australia.gov.au.

Use the vaccine eligibility checker to see if you are eligible, when and where you can get the vaccination, and to book an appointment.

If you are aged 40 years or more you are eligible for vaccination. If you are aged 16 to 39 years you may be eligible for vaccination.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommends the Pfizer vaccine as the preferred vaccine for those aged 16 to 59 years, but the AstraZeneca vaccine can be provided to people aged 18 to 59 years of age.

Appointments to vaccination clinics can be made by the Public Health Hotline 18000 671 738 or via the Tasmanian government's coronavirus website.
